Top finished!

Dear brides, the top is ready, ironed, just saw one thing which is not appliqued, can you spot it. Well I ironed it for the picture so now it is back to the sewing machine for the last few blanket stitches. I enjoyed every minute of this quilt so far, I started in december last year, so all the seasons are in this quilt, the easter eggs with the birds, fall colours and the light greens of spring.

I loved your comments and through this blog I met a great friend Lorene, who is also busy on this quilt and it is almost complete. We are already thinking about a new project!

Today in Holland we are enjoying the last sunny days, it is already fall, a good time for some quilting. I will be quilting by hand, just outlining, the quilt is busy enough, don't you think?

Wow Ineke! Your top looks amazing!! You must be SO pleased to see it all together. There is just so much to look at and discover :0) I hope you'll post some of your quilting progress. My plan too is to outline the shapes. (I still have 6 more blocks and the borders to make yet though)

Wow..you did it and it so gorgeous...unbelievable! I hope you have a lovely autumn...everyone needs some friendly kind weather about now, don't they?I don't know if I could even pick favorite squares...they are all so essentially unique and yet cohesive. Your color and fabric sense is grand. And follow through..way to go.
